Before people start digging up some of my epic fail predictions I say this. I have been wrong plenty of times. I thought Ricky Stuart would bring us a premiership, had it in for Norman initially and thought he couldn't tackle, was certain we signed John Folau etc etc but I was the first person to put my hand up when I was wrong.

Just really happy for our whole club that this epic myth will now leave. Yes I heard plenty about him, it was common knowledge in League circles but we live in a society where we are so obsessed with being politically correct that people are scared and sometimes get attacked for having a different opinion to the mainstream. That is why I like this forum. Good release for me.

Now why can't I like my own post again?

You still don't understand.

You get challenged not because people are "scared" of anything. The basic principle is, a person is full of shit, until they prove they aren't full of shit. Only dimwits and simple minded people just believe someone because they say so.

That's all it is, nothing more. Has nothing to do with you as a person, If you make a claim of something in this world, expect to be ridiculed for it if you can't (or won't) back it up. Pretty simple really.

Now, take what I said as an insult and call me a name, that's a good boy. If you can't take what I say for what it is, then there's no point talking to you.

Never asked you to believe me. Just stated my opinion in the only way I know. With passion.

You see, but you didn't state it as an opinion, you said you knew, You were packaging it as information, not as your opinion, I wouldn't bother asking you to prove your opinion, because that's impossible, It's an opinion, it doesn't have proof.

You claimed you were told things and that they were true. I questioned that, for the reasons I said before, and you lashed out at me for questioning you, as if you were above suspicion. Now, that may be true in your real life world, your word may be as solid as stone. But this isn't the real world, this is the internet, and I don't know the real world you from Adam, so I have no idea if you're trustworthy or not, so I asked you to prove to me that you are, It's a sore spot with me when people claim things they aren't willing to back up, it 100% of the time makes me think they are lying, because if they weren't why wouldn't they just provide their proof?

You're going to say "Because I don't care if you believe me or not", but you do. You obviously do, or you would spend so much energy fighting with me.

Whatever mate. He as I predicted will go down as our worst signing, ever. Worse than Dykes, Watmough and Sandow put together.

Unlucky with injuries and his personal stuff, sure, yeah. Not because he wasn't a good halfback.

I'm pretty sure SK and Sticky take the worst signing trophy as a tie.

And yes, they're that bad I'm including them over any player.

Former Parramatta Eel Kieran Foran in fight of his life - and switching clubs is last priority
Date
July 9, 2016 - 7:56PM

Danny Weidler



Foran leaves with no real plan and a head that simply won't allow him to enjoy day-to-day life. His heart is heavy because of a relationship breakdown and he misses his kids. He is weighed down by depression and battling significant issues on a number of fronts. It's not my place to say what they are.

What needs to be made very clear is that right now Foran is in the fight of his life. He is craving normality and stability and is NOT interested in football. Not the Bulldogs. Not the Roosters. Not the Sea Eagles. He just walked away from close to $4million. He has a massive mortgage and other debts. He is not doing it with a pile of savings and he is certainly not a trust fund baby.

When I announced on Thursday night on Nine news that Foran would have to quit the Eels to allow Parrramatta to make a play for Hayne, Iwas shot down pretty quickly. But Parramatta were already making noises that day that they had the money for Hayne and with the right information it was a move I was comfortable forecasting. When Foran sent the text to teammates the next morning, my story was confirmed.

Now the pressure is on Parramatta to sign Hayne.

Foran wanted three months away from football, but that idea didn't sit well with Eels coach Brad Arthur. As much compassion as the coach has for his star player, he couldn't do that. Arthur and Foran have had many chats about his future. Yes, Foran has thought about quitting before. He's raised it with Arthur. And dismissed the idea after chatting to those he trusts, including Arthur and his agents, George Mimis and Paul Sutton.

But in recent days it has become too much. The thought of turning up to training has filled him with angst; it's made him sick in the stomach. He has been unable to process the thought of playing football. When he spoke to Arthur on Thursday it was because he couldn't see a way out.

Foran has been boiling this week. The suggestion from one columnist that he was making light of his situation tipped him over the edge. His response to that columnist was a blistering phone call. He was reported by the columnist to the NRL for his blast. This came a few days after police were called to intercept Foran as he was driving up the coast due to fears for his safety.

Mimis has been concerned about Foran for weeks. It is my understanding that he has been sourcing Foran further medical and expert help. Mimis has cared for him 24-7. Above and beyond. He continues to.

Arthur is a football coach who isn't an expert with mental health issues, but he has tried his best. Like everyone he wants Foran to be better.

I'm not clutching at straws at all. My comment was spot on you goon.

You sir, have won the Internet when it comes to the Foran saga and you should be very proud of yourself (which, if I am reading your posts correctly I think you are).

Well done mate. Those imbeciles you have 'outed' should know that this forum isn't a place for information exchange and debate, it is a place to polish your knob and marvel in the fact that you choose to hang out with some dodgy merkins who know something about our club.

Certainly no reason to comment on any of your posts where you gloat about some inside info that you have graciously chosen to share to a bunch of mere mortals. Just a "Thanks Avy, you legend" will suffice.

Seriously though. Again, great effort. Well done for not being a f**kwit in how you shared the info in the first place. Well done also for not reminding people at least 1000 times in a condescending fashion that the info that you have may be coming to fruition.

You're my hero.

I'm loving the post-"I'm leaving and never coming back" Avenger.

Internet sooks who can't handle others not bowing down to them are the best!

I never said that you lying bearded merkin. I did say you should bow and when Hayne returns I'm going to insist you do for being blasphemous to the greatest Eel of them all.
